With humanity's current rate of rising sea levels and climate change, I'd like to focus on the latter for a moment. My prediction is that if we keep going down the current rate of environmental change and greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere, humanity will be seriously damaged or destroyed entirely by the 2070s or 2080s. However, I'd like to bring up an interesting concept. If we evolved to breath in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, couldn't we evolve under much quicker circumstances to be able to live by breathing both carbon dioxide and oxygen with the right circumstances in a short amount of time? The same goes for if the atmosphere fell off of Earth (similar to how Mars' did a few million years ago), and evolving to being able to survive on not breathing at all in short time under the right conditions. This is all speculation, of course, but it really makes you wonder what humanity could eventually evolve into to be able to suit their current conditions. Sure, as of now, carbon dioxide is harmful to humanity, but if climate change continues, perhaps that may slowly change without us even realising until the last minute. This has been Engiresco's speculative science for today, and good night.

Her Royal Highness, Alyssa Florentine of Midford
Queen of the United Kingdom of Illusia and Neverendia

"Upon consultation with my advisors... the United Kingdom of Illusia and Neverendia will be supporting the Vapian-backed and de jure government of the Colony of Song-tao. It is most upsetting to me personally that, while the rebellion has an ideology that both it and Illusia and Neverendia has something in common, my people fear that this absolutism Ms Hesheng is implementing is an unrefined variant, akin to the styling of other nations around the world.

Absolutism is in no way just about controlling your nation with an iron hand and oppressing your populace. The ideology of absolutism in the eyes of the Illuverendian populace is fulfilling the people's civil rights and needs without the need of a decentralised society - and the Illuverendian nation sees no confidence that these rebels can fulfill similar things as stated.

The Illuverendian government and its people, along with my backing, is confident that the Vapian monarchy and government resolves this crisis immediately, whether via diplomacy or through force. However, the United Kingdom of Illusia and Neverendia will not be providing any means of aid to the Vapian populace, for we are preoccupied with other matters, and that Illuverendia will not touch problems that aren't theirs- in the first place- with a barge pole."

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

H-hello? Can anyone else here us? Gothgraff and lilium forces have defeated the coalition, our resistance movement is losing and they approach our positions. Millions are dead, whole nations fell within days! Save yourselves, prepare to fight or face conquest.

This is the free coalition for the last time!
